In April 2011, I travelled from New Zealand to see Maa and spend 5 months in India. The first two months I stayed at the ashram in Haridwar and then I went up to Holy Kedarnath with a group of international visitors from the ashram. I remained in Triyuginarayan for 8 weeks for intense meditation [...]

Jai Shri Krishna, In this month Sandesh, Pujya Bhaishri explains the interpretation of dharmakshetra and kurukshetra from the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita. His message is as follows: The Shrimad Bhagavad Gita is the means by which Lord Shri Krishna has shown the whole world the path to one’s welfare in one’s life. In the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, Lord Shri Krishna talks about dharmakshetra and kurukshetra (fields of religion and battle). In one sense, our body is a dharmakshetra and kurukshetra. To elaborate, our bodies begin to do ‘kuru kuru’ as soon as we wake up in the morning, meaning, our bodies begin to perform on task after another as soon as we wake up. In addition, if we wouldn’t have obtained these bodies, how would we perform all our deeds? All our deeds must abide by dharma. For instance, dharma must be present when a housewife prepares food for the family, or, one must abide by dharma in their employed jobs. In fact, all our deeds will turn into pooja if they abide by dharma. Furthermore, in our body, which is a dharmakshetra, lives Lord Shri Krishna in the form of aatmaa (the soul); Shri Krishna lives inside us and provides brightness and protects us. Our life is also a battlefield. Life is filled with conflicts and therefore we are bound to encounter conflict in our lives all the time. We need to become Arjun and get ready to fight. However, remember, during this battle, Lord Shri Krishna is with us; he is not for us, but with us. This battle is ours, hence we must fight it ourselves. With Blessings, Bhaishri

Hi! Welcome to Ashram Yoga, the Blog. I'm Jessica Loftman, and this is an online space mostly for learning, exploring, and discovering, or at least these are my aspiring hopes. Perhaps as a vision, I hope that this website can be a place of exchange, so that together we may unmask the beauties of India, the ashram tradition, and, most importantly, the eloquent practice and history of yoga. I am both a student and teacher of yoga, and a blossoming dreamer who hopes to make life a journey through the passing waves of spirituality. While in relative perspective I am but a grain of sand within the ocean of spiritual living, I do hope that this site may inspire others to more deeply uncover their perception of yoga and its practices. Thanks for visiting!
